Actually, this requires even a bit more mess than this to be really
complete if we want to be strict about it.  The reason is that, with the
patch I just posted, we're creating a new type of representable object
that will need to have some way of making it through pg_identify_object,
pg_get_object_address, pg_identify_object_as_address.  This is only
visible as one tries to patch object_address.sql (auditability of DDL
operations being the goal).

I think this means we need a new OBJECT_PUBLICATION_REL_COLUMN value in
the ObjectType (paralelling OBJECT_COLUMN), and no new ObjectClass
value.  Looking now to confirm.
